COMPREHENSIVE USE OF MINERAL RESOURCESOF THE NOVODVORSKY DEPOSITFOR THE PRODUCTION OF ARTIFICIAL POROUS AGGREGATES

The results of studies of the integrated use of minerals from the Novodvorskoye deposit of the Republic of Belarus – glauconite-containing rocks, basalts and saponite-containing tuffs for the production of porous aggregates with the required physical and chemical properties are presented. Data from experimental studies, combined with an analysis of the specific occurrence of rocks, their mineral and chemical composition, made it possible to confirm the possibility of the most rational use of minerals and technological waste to reduce their quantity and minimize dump areas.
